Refocus like Vivo V9 - General Questions and Answers

Hello friends,
I'm little confused about the refocus thing which is recently introduced by Vivo in its V9 model.
How this works?
Is it works on other phone models having dual camera?
Is it to do anything with different aperture of dual camera?
After coming such technology, is it able to be ported to other mobile devices then why it's not yet ported.
These are some beginners questions about camera development technologies.

[Q] Ideos X5 Camera Hardware etc..

Hi all!
I've bought my Ideos X5 Android phone few months ago and I'm very proud of it! I've noticed people keep saying that Ideos' camera isn't that good as for example Galaxy S' camera (both are able to record 720p video).
So, my question is that why people don't like Ideos' camera? What makes the camera "bad" or "ugly"? Is the "problem" with camera sensor or something else? Is there any way to get a "better" camera for Ideos X5?
Cheers!
EDIT: I couldn't post this on Ideos X5 section, sorry

[Q] Will Custom ROMs allow the Lollipop Camera API to work?

Today was a day of bad news. I just read this article and apparently the Lollipop update does not bring the new camera API to the Xperia Z1/2/3 series. I could cry!
Now I was wondering, since Custom ROMs can alter so much for a device, whether they can enable the camera API even though Sony doesn't. It would be awesome if there's a developer who could manage to do this - if at all possible of course. I was planning on making a video of these potential new camera controls, but I was surprised to see that Sony just didn't allow the API to be used (I don't know the technical details so correct me if I'm wrong about the actual phrasing there).
Do you have any thoughts on this? Are you a developer, and do you have any experience with this or similar APIs? I for one have no idea if it can be made to work with the Xperia Z1/2/3's camera at all. I'd love to know! :highfive:

I'm not entirely impressed with the camera either, and can't believe we have waited this long for Sony to release the lollipop update, which not only doesn't improve the camera, but its also just 5.0.. i thought the whole delay in the lollipop update was due to the initial quirks in the 5.0 build meaning they would roll out 5.1?
At this point in the game with the competition you cannot be releasing flagships marketed as the worlds best camera which is actually very mediocre. I'm truly disappointed in Sony and will likely not be holding on to my Z3 for much longer.
As it stands, have you tried the 20mp SuperiorAuto xposed module? I have seen quite a significant improvement, if you can live with the occasional crashes...

Camera interface not as it should be

hi guys,
i just purchased a dual sim sony Z5, model #E6683, its a chinese variant. everything is fine except for the camera interface, its not like how its suppoosed to be, there is no manual mode options or anything that sort which the Z5 should carry, if any of you can share the proper camera APK and guide me how to install it without rooting, that would be great help.
thanx a million
Screenshot what you have so. We can see

This is known. All Z5s and Z5 Duals are shipping currently with Camera 1.0 App. They have yet to update to their newest app (which they demo'd at the release). They expect it to roll out sometime in Nov 2015, if not with the android 6.0 marshmallow update.

Port Google Camera v4.4 to our moto g3?

Can someody do this? The google camera v4.4 has 2 problems with our device: It requires arm64, yet there are versions for arm in xda, but then another problem appears.. it requires camera2 api.
Can someone port this to our device? Like the moto camera that requires camera2 api was ported for us.
I agree, yes please! If possible. I'm running pixel experience. Maybe the latest version with portrait mode instead?
Google camera got only ported to Snapdragon 820/821 and 835 . I am very sceptical that somebody would actually do this, I better wish that video recording could be fixed in Oreo ROMS...

It's semi working on the G5 plus but only using 64bit ROM

GCAM - Will Mi Mix2s / Poco / Mi8 ever get Motion Photos?

Hi,
I've been researching a lot about Motion Photos in Gcam. Before, on my Mi A1, motion photos worked great, but with the Xiaomi Phones with Snapdragon 845 I can't seem to fix it. I've tried every possible setting and many different builds.
From what I've read the problem is that Gcam uses the YUV format for Motion Pictures and that Xiaomi doesn't provide the correct drivers for the Snapdragon 845 for it. This is also the problem with Mi 8 and Poco F1. Does anyone know if this is true and if devs can work around this, or we just have to live with the fact that we never can use the feature Motion Photos?
Or is this something devs can fix in a custom kernel? CC: @Arnova8G2
Greetings, Remy
PS: I also post this thread in the Poco forums, but nobody replied

We are missing Level3, this only Xiaomi can fix.
So unless they fix their mess, devs are with tied hands.
Long story short, yes you are right about YUV.
Thanks for your fast explanation. Let's hope for the best
